Fedora Project

• Updated perl-DateTime to 1.28 in F-24 and Rawhide:

  • Fixed handling of some floating point epochs; since DateTime treated the epoch like a string instead of a number, certain epochs with a non-integer value ended up treated like integers (Perl is weird) (GH#15, fixes GH#6)

• Updated perl-Test-Vars to 0.009 in F-24 and Rawhide:

  • On recent Perls (5.22 and 5.24, maybe more) this module could detect an unused variable named "$"; this was a bogus false positive, as opposed to just a missing variable name in the output (GH#22)

  • Fixed tests to use File::Spec->catfile to generate paths so that tests pass on Windows (based on GH#20)

Local Packages

• Updated perl-DateTime to 1.28 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 5.20160520:

  • Fixed edge-case checking in is_core() (checking for a specific version of a module returned false for the first perl release that contained it)

  • Updated for v5.25.1

• Updated perl-Test-Vars to 0.009 as per the Fedora version

• Updated xxdiff to 4.0.1 (cumulative bug fix update)
